What do you consider a primary home defense firearm:

I prefer a 12 ga pump. Before children that was my HD gun.

 

Since I keep my HD gun locked up now it is a 45 in a gunvault.

12 gauge pump, loaded with 4 buck and some slugs. Like Tim, I will soon have to make the transition to a .45 1911 locked in a gun locker due to a little one.

1911 45acp.

I rotate my centerfire handguns to the safe next to the bed. With crime rates going up in the area I am considering bringing out the 12 ga pump.

Hk P30L with gold dots, and an AK with lots of mags of 223.

 

And oh yeah, have a mosin 91/30 with a large poker if I have to.

MOssberg 500 in closet about 6' from bed.

Followed by a Glock 26 (soon to be replaced by an M&P 9) w/ Gold Dot +p in a gunsafe bolted to draw in night stand on side I sleep on.

Anything close to hand

I have a 12 and 20 ga loaded with buck in 2 seperate locations. Glock 23 and AR next to my bed with loaded mags on my nightstand. SIG P226 9mm as a backup in a seperate location. But I would go for the 12 ga. first.

My options are my MP15, and then my XD40. I do prefer a rifle over a shotgun as I'm more familiar with how to manipulate a rifle, while I know almost nothing of shotguns :oops:

M&P 15-22 or anything with S&W on it.

HK USP 45

We can fix that.

I saw a JIC and masterkey attachment a couple times in action, but never got use it myself

anything you can shoot straight, shoots reliably, and is readily accessible to you. My selection: Knight .50 cal muzzle loader

because I'll only need one shoot.

Haha exactly. My .75 cal Brown Bess should do the trick. Plus it puts out a nice "smoke screen" so I can escape
